Union County Fireworks Show Canceled due to Burn Ban

Due to the burn ban currently in effect in Union County, the fireworks show scheduled for Wednesday, July 4, will be rescheduled for New Year's Eve.

The decision was made after consulting with the El Dorado Fire Department, Union County Judge Mike Loftin and the Arkansas Forestry Commission. The hot, dry weather conditions are not expected to change between now and Wednesday night.

"It's unfortunate, but it comes down to a safety issue," said Henry Florsheim, Chamber of Commerce president & CEO. "By rescheduling to New Year's Eve, the community will have a family-friendly way to ring in 2013."
